Good evening

Had good cards tonight and won 3/3. Two players were quite "crummy" - remember this word from the 80s? I love getting big pocket pairs against these villains, because they don't give you ANY credit when you raise. So, 3-bets galore get the money in thankyou very much for your buy-in sir. The other player was an 8% winner over 1000ish games and when I found this out at the start of the game I played pretty poorly for the first few hands. I really do need to learn to have confidence in my game sometimes. To be honest I didn't deserve the game, I spewed about 800 chips by calling a little loosely on some dryish boards with second/3rd pair. But in a pot when I was short I turned the nut flush on a checked paired flop and he'd slow played trips - this allowed me to double up and then trap him one hand with KK before managing to win the flip. I really need to give villains more credit early on in a game before we get a read that he/she is bluffing out of line. If it means we get run over for 20 hands before adjusting this means we'll likely lose alot less than 800 chips. I hope I get a chance to play this villain again however, with a little work I think I could create a good strategy to counter his. There were certainly imbalances in his play, as there were in mine during the game. This is how the battle between two thinking players begins :)
Further thoughts?
I didn't play the limp stab style tonight really. There were passages of play where I did when I felt it was necessary to switch gears but the rest of the time I played more aggressively. I think I'll just incorporate this gear into my overall style and go from there. A big edge in poker comes from players calling too lightly (preflop) and folding to most c-bets. If we're always limping I feel that I'm missing out on exploiting this imbalance. Sure, if this leak doesn't exist in a villain we need to find another one to exploit and limp stabbing might be it. But I think I'll begin a match by establishing if we can use this simple trick, and if it doesn't work move onto other strategies.
